Festival Marionnettes Plein la rue – 10th Edition
20 August au 11 September 2021

Évenement

10 years of being amazed together! 

 

On Fridays and Saturdays from August 20th to September 4th, 2021, the Well comes alive with the 10th edition of the Festival Marionnettes Plein la rue.

In addition to the strolls that will surprise you on the pedestrian Promenade Wellington, some fixed shows will be presented for a small number of spectators at a time*.

Live puppets, hand puppets, live puppets, giant puppets, in a cabin and even in a freezer! They all await you on Promenade Wellington.

Open your eyes wide and let yourself be carried away by the magic of this 10th edition! 

 

And because 10 years is a great way to celebrate, the closing show will take place on Saturday, September 11th, 2021 at Quai 5160**.

*Only by reservation – Free – Tickets will be available online the Wednesday before each performance.

** Tickets on sale now ($6) : https://bit.ly/37Qj9xC

10 years of dreaming together!

 

Grow up!

Dreaming of taking over the streets, parks, alleys, backyards and storefronts! To take the public square by storm. Opening up to the world, adapting, daring, that’s what we did.

For ten years, the festival has been unfolding and allowing artists and the public to meet, to dialogue. And if the festival develops, the puppet also. It changes, it evolves, and inspires us.

Myriame Larose, Festival Marionnettes Plein la rue Director of Programming
